What it is not: a circuit breaker. There is no overload release or short-circuit protection inside this unit. It's a load-break disconnect for isolation and switching, not for fault protection. The product designation on the nameplate reads 'Switch disconnector', and the spec confirms it ships without any auxiliary release or undervoltage trip. Rated continuous current Iu is 160 A — that's the maximum current the main contacts can carry continuously without exceeding the 38 W power loss limit at full load. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V, and the maximum operational voltage is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz or 500 V DC. That DC rating is worth noting: if you're switching a DC bus at 500 V, this disconnect can handle it, but the 2 kA limited-time rating (1 s or 0.5 s) tells you it's not designed to interrupt high fault currents — it's a disconnect, not a breaker. ## Auxiliary contacts and integration That's enough to signal position back to a PLC or light stack without adding an external contact block. The auxiliary contacts are integrated into the switch, so they share the same mechanical endurance of 15,000 operating cycles. The front terminal connection for the main circuit accepts lug-type conductors; the auxiliary contacts use the standard 3VA accessory wiring scheme.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-1AA36-0AH0 SENTRON Switch Disconnector, 160","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-1AA36-0AH0 switch disconnector, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, IP40 front.

The difference is functional: the 3VA1116-1AA36-0AH0 is a switch disconnector with no overcurrent protection, while the 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0 is a molded case circuit breaker with a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit. No rewiring needed for the main terminals, but the auxiliary contact wiring may differ (2 aux + 1 alarm vs. 2 aux + 1 short-circuit alarm)."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-1AA36-0AH0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-1AA36-0AH0 when reusing this data.
